Writing table with bobbin-turned legs CAD block

A joined writing table made in New England around 1700, with bobbin-turned legs and stretchers, one drawer and pierced corner brackets. At 1022 mm wide and 540 mm deep it suits a study, a landing or a hall; it is 673 mm high, a little lower than a modern desk.

What's in the file

Three blocks
WRITING_TABLE_BOBBIN_PLAN, WRITING_TABLE_BOBBIN_FRONT and WRITING_TABLE_BOBBIN_SIDE. The plan's insertion point is the back-left corner; the elevations sit at floor level.
Layers
The outline is on layer 0 with ByBlock colour, so each block takes the layer you insert it on. Detail lines are on I-FURN-DETL and dashed hidden edges on I-FURN-HIDN, so you can switch either off.
Size
W 1022 × D 540 × H 673 mm. Measured by the museum, so check it against the piece you're specifying, and scale it if yours differs.
SketchUp
The DXF for SketchUp is the same block with a surface in every closed area, so the Paint Bucket fills each one in one click. Import it with Merge coplanar faces ticked: how to import it.
Use
Free for your own projects, including drawings for clients. Please don't share it as part of a block library.
